These lists don't accept non-text attachments, so I've put it up here:
http://smithi.id.au/hp4510s/acpi.asl.gz
plus your dmesg posted to -stable last week; post it again if changed:
http://smithi.id.au/hp4510s/dmesg.txt
As I said, I don't know anything about these, hopefully someone does ..
cheers, Ian
